    Dude this is the 2nd time you've come in clutch for me. I had a wicked RIDICULOUS VLOOKUP to construct and this tutorial was EXACTLY what I needed! The first time you saved me was with your year long budget in google sheets. FOREVER in your debt!

    That False/"" info has just saved me so much sress! Thanks so much man. I was using the standard 'lookup', and was wondering why the second drop down name was returning an 8th result in another column. Subscribed!

    thank you for your time, but can you explain how to get the report card format on your second tab. I have a data table like you on my first tab. In order to follow your steps in this video, I found myself trying this on a second blank tabs (didn't work), I also tried to open a pivot table in a second tab and follow your instructions (didn't work). Maybe you can start by explaining how to get the data from tab 1 table into a report card format on tab 2?

    Nice and clear explanation. I also found out you can use an array to populate all of the columns keeping formula just in one cell. Simply put column numbers in the curly brackets {2,3,4,5} that will do the trick.

  • @MrMosoani
    @MrMosoani 3 года назад

    Hi! If I use vlookup to return the email address of the people it works fine BUT if 2 people have the same last name then it's a problem. The first person's email gets returned twice. The 2nd person shows the 1st person's email. There are 60 people wherein some have the same last name and it always gets the 1st person's email.
    How can we fix this?

    I'm having a lot of trouble. I have a sheet that is connected to a form. It is an application form for employees to sign up and fill in various information. I want to create a dropdown in the main sheet, which will let me select the applicant from the forms responses and then populate all of the cells in the sheet with the answers from the form. The cells in the sheet are not all in a long straight row however. How can I pull the answers from the forms responses and then tell the answers to go to the correct cells?

      ​ @Y Sanders @Matthew Finn it's in that video at 4:10 ruclips.net/video/WRWg8mpIWpY/видео.html
      Basically you create a drop-down by adding data validation. Think of data validation as setting rules for what "should" be entered in that cell. You can use it to show a warning if there's an entry that doesn't match the options you list, and you can create a drop-down in the cell so people just select from the available options.

      never mind, i learnt how to do it
      and another thing i realized, if you don't change the attributes of the search key and range to absolute and you copy the formula across the other cells, it will still show the correct details per student if you don't change the column index

      Should still work as long as you have a different first name and you tell the formula to look for exact results (FALSE for the last argument)
